MAIN ACCOUNTABILITIES
1. DEVELOPMENT SUPPORT:
Guide the UK Engineering team in the RfP process, evaluation and selection of the external suppliers (engineering companies) to carry out the concept design, Basic or Building projects as well as the needed field studies or external projects assessment. Ensure the application of the standards, general specifications and quality criteria of EDPR in the realisation of projects and designs of renewable power plants and electrical infrastructure. Define the systems for tracking the relevant information from the projects and reporting to the rest of the organisation. Collaborate and give technical support to Development in matters related to the connection to the electricity network. Coordinate and supervise the realization of the budgets of material execution of the projects, and the control of such costs along the projects execution.
2. SUPPORT IN PROJECT TENDERS:
Assist technically the Purchasing Department in the bidding of the execution of the different projects of the renewable plants, as well as coordinate the team to perform the technical evaluation and tabulation of the received bids in order to ensure the selection of the best final engineering project from the technical point of view.
3. MANAGEMENT OF ENGINEERING PROJECTS EXECUTION:
Organize and lead the team in the simultaneous realisation of all the engineering projects, have a direct perception of the projects, assisting the team when necessary. Report the evolution of the projects to the Engineering EU North management.
